Michael Army Airfield (Dugway Proving Ground) dominates the central geography of this high-desert landscape in Tooele County, reflecting the deep integration of military operations within the Great Salt Lake Desert. The airfield and its associated operational zones, including Able Area, Dog Area, and Charlie Area, are positioned along the drainage of Government Cr. This ephemeral waterway flows between the southern terminus of the Cedar Mountains to the north and the distinct elevation of Camels Back Ridge in the south. The transportation network consists of straight, functional routes like Stark Rd and Peter Charlie Rd, which serve the expansive military testing and training grounds. This survey captures a specialized landscape where natural desert landforms are partitioned for national defense purposes.
